I had the pleasure of serving with Bob in HMM-364's metal shop, from approximately April 1967 through November 1968. He was always highly motivated and very competent, a pleasure to serve with. Bob had an upbeat personality that always provided relief from the stresses we experienced preparing for deployment to Viet Nam, and the greater stresses of operating in a combat zone. Bob eagerly volunteered to fly as a gunner on combat missions, and was popular with the crew chiefs for his bravery and enthusiasm. His unflagging high spirits and esprit de corps were a source of strength and comfort when combat stresses were taking their toll on his buddies. He maintained the highest standards when he served in HMM-364, and was an exemplary Marine. His buddies are going to miss him. Semper Fi.
